    Default european russian oak value - adelaide

    G'day
    I purchased some european oak (from russia) at least 12 years ago.
    From memory it's in the form of 1" and 2" slabs around 2m long I think, I haven't looked at it for a long time. I bought enough to make a dining table and 6 chairs, but never got to that project. I carefully stored the timber in a dry protected area (under double brick house), on level bearers, with stickers ripped from the oak between each layer of slabs.
    Can someone tell me how much this timber would be worth?
    Best avenue for sale?
    cheers
    Rod

    nothing. sell it to me for $1

    Euro oak... can mean lots of things. French, English, Eastern Euro stuff i've never seen. Assuming it is the same stuff you can most likely wholesale it for around $2000m3 as a job lot.
    individual boards, retail. from 3500m3.

    The trading post, ebay or here in the buy, sell, swap section.
    Good Luck.

    oh and PICS PLEASE!

    G'day Steven
    Thanks for the informative reply.
    Here's some pics, The 3 larger boards are around 350 x 52, most of the rest are roughly half 30mm thick or 25mm thick with a couple of thinner around 22ish. All appear to be just under 2m.
    Ball park total based on that gives around 0.37 cubic metre. The boards look pretty straight and flatish. The wetted section that is highly figured was a shorter piece, the rest appear to be more like the longer piece shown.
    No idea of grade. What would be a fair price to take the lot do you think?
    cheers
    Rod
